[Transcript below the cut]

Good afternoon radio space! I’m happy to say that Verdigris is buzzing with more activity than ever. Seems the new folks have settled in well, and spread across this desert like far flung buzzards. 

I’ve been trying to find ways to occupy my creativity recently, though I’ve got this station now, most of my time is either spent in the booth or flipping through records to try and find the perfect song to reach the smallest corners of the server. [sighs], Honestly all the down time’s got me flipping through old photo albums, both from the previous world and the ones I managed to grab and shove into my ender chest when I was leaving the Academy all those years ago. Because it’s so dry here, nothing much green grows besides cactus, and I honestly miss walking through the lush gardens of the Academy greenhouses, and especially my old garden in the past world. 

I think I need to bring a bit more greenery to this desert, maybe call on some of the Fungus folks for help, in setting up a sprawling’ greenhouse to lay somewhere along the lines of this here town. 

Apparently, flung way far out into the dark reaches of this world, are some new creatures that could help bring some strange new plants to us. Our explorers have told me they haven’t pinpointed the exact location to find them yet, but that they’ll find it hopefully soon. I feel like it’s been such a long time since I’ve really tried anything new. You might lean back and question this, seeing as I’ve just started this station and all, but back when I was a scholar, I used to run a radio station for one of the Universities. Playing music and such, trying to impress someone who was much more into radio than I was.

[clears throat]. I’ve found that it’s good to try something new every once and a while, doing a new hobby will keep your mind from souring too much. It’ll keep you dreaming’ of new things, keep your mind spinning, and wipe away the cobwebs. I’m thinking pottery, I do live in a mesa after all, there is an abundance of clay and terracotta to use here. I’ve got a book somewhere tucked away on how to do it, that or I can definitely find one in the Verde Cock Library. There’s a building down on the pier that would be perfect as a clay studio, I’ll just have to build some kilns and set up some tables and wheels for throwing. I’ll have some wares to sell in no time.

Alright, Verdigris Radio is sponsored this week by the Malfaction, wonderful! Are you stuck in your boring faction territory? Drowning in depression? Want to have some fun? Visit the Malfaction, browse shops, adopt from an animal shelter, and get hammered while watching our glorious dictator [clears throat], “fuck it up” on the stripper pole. You can even get baptized, now doesn’t that sound enriching? Note: Ollie specifically cannot get baptized because I don’t want his ass to ascend. Alright, thank you Ceph, and thank you to the Malfaction for your support.

Besides all that, it’s been quiet out in the far reaches. Too quiet. I think the other factions are up to something, maybe I’ll take a trip out to Wisteria tomorrow afternoon and catch up with Flick. Oh and I promised Doc we'd have tea a while back, but I think he’s been down in his lab for a while, I should send him a letter and make good on that. 

I’ve got this week’s song cued up and ready, but before I sign off, I just wanted to let you all know I’ve found a way to take calls and questions! If you’ve got any of those, just send them to our mailbox, and I’ll be sure to answer them. Enjoy the tunes!

Top 7 Niigata City Museums You Should Visit *Activity Archive*

If you're interested in museums, Niigata City has a few different options. Some of them are related to aspects of Niigata, while others are just for fun. This is my list of the top 7 Niigata City museums.

7. Niigata Science Museum

The Niigata Science Museum has many interesting sections to show off all kinds of science in action. Even without being able to read Japanese, there are a lot of interactive displays that you can enjoy. There are sections on optical illusions, space, robotics, dinosaurs, and much more. They also have a planetarium and a section where they hold special exhibitions, like the Pokemon fossil one I went to see with friends. It’s also near a nice bakery, Saffron Meikei, so you can always grab some breakfast before heading over.

6. Niigata City Aquarium Marinepia

Right next to the ocean, the Niigata Aquarium, Marinepia, is full of ocean wildlife. You can see dolphin shows or walk around and check out the various animals inside. A small outdoor section showcases different plants and animals with some quiz questions too (though they are in Japanese). It’s not huge, but there’s still plenty to do, and it’s right across from a gelato store and an all-you-can-eat Indian curry restaurant.

5. Niigata Rice Cracker Kingdom

Niigata Rice Kingdom is a rice cracker museum about a 20-minute walk from Niizaki Station, though there are also closer bus stops. It isn’t very large, but it does have a small kitchen where you can cook your own rice cracker and paint it to make some parts darker. It can be a little difficult to find because the first thing you see is the back of one of the buildings, but you should be able to follow the arrows to the doors. They also have a small rice cracker store in Niigata station 2F East Side.

4. Northern Cultural Museum

The Northern Cultural Museum is the beautiful old house of a wealthy farming family. It’s got a Japanese-style garden and a few displays of old artifacts, as well as the Wisteria which blooms in late April and early May. However, it is difficult to get there. You either need a car, or you have to catch one of the few buses that drop off nearby, which don’t run late at night during the Wisteria light-up season because the museum isn’t usually open that late. However, there is a smaller version close to Furumachi that was an author’s home. While it’s not as big, it’s much easier to get to.

3. Shirone Kite Museum

Another museum that’s not further up the list because of the distance, the Shirone Kite Museum is still worth a visit, especially if you can go while the actual kite festival is taking place. The buses to the Shirone Kite Museum come and go about once an hour and during the festival, there are also free shuttle buses to important parts around Shirone. The museum itself displays kites like the ones used in the kite battles over the river, some small and some giant. There’s even a video hall where you can see the creation process, though as far as I could tell it’s all in Japanese, but the visuals are the most interesting part anyway.

2. Minatopia

Minatopia is the Niigata City History Museum located along the Shinano River. It’s a nice place to check out the history of Niigata and even includes some cool old buildings on the grounds. If you want to read more about it, check out my full article here: https://www.tumblr.com/redheadinjapan/720910514442633216/niigata-city-history-museum-minatopia-activity?source=share

1. Saito Villa

Saito Villa is very similar to the Northern Cultural Museum and is just around the corner from its city branch. It’s an old merchant’s house with beautiful Japanese architecture and gardens. It is a little smaller than the Northern Cultural Museum, but you can actually get tea or coffee and snacks while you sit and view the garden. Unfortunately, the Noto earthquake in January did damage part of the garden, but only a small section is currently roped off.

Museums can be a great way to spend a day, alone or with friends. You should definitely check out some of these great Niigata City museums if you have ever have some time to kill or are in the area.

ʚ HONEYPOT. ɞ

ଘ genre: fluff, comfort ଘ pairing: fushiguro toji x female reader ଘ from 呪術廻戦 / jujutsu kaisen ଘ word count: 2.3k ଘ beware: no real warnings, fushiguro toji’s third housewife arc, mentions of menstrual symptoms (cramping and fever), descriptions of menstrual pain, mention of birth control, a sprinkle of toji-typical cuss words, toji is a himbo in disguise, soft toji, he’s a little insecure now that he’s falling in love (took him long enough) lmao ଘ synopsis: it’s really surprising that when toji experiences you on your period for the first time, he is a manic cross between horrified and overprotective.  ଘ request: anonymous asked: im a sucker for husband!toji so if u don't mind, I'll ask for a fluffy oneshot/headcanon? where reader is on her period while toji here takes care of her :> please & thank u! ଘ notes: soft toji soft toji SOFT TOJI. writing fluff gives me the biggest, most active butterflies for this man ever. i was originally going to do headcanons but i’m too longwinded hehe, hope you enjoy <333 p.s. make sure to click the link for toji visual because this is how i imagined him the entire damn time LMAO. reblogs are loved  (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc)

 fushiguro toji is absolutely horrible with gals. 

sure, he’s good at sweet talking them into causing trouble with him in the dark but when it comes to being supportive, a shoulder to lean on when a woman’s tears start flowing in big, fat waves toji locks up, the grimace on his scarred features only making them cry harder. 

he also has a terrible habit, much worse than being a chain smoker: toji will downright scoff and call them a crybaby. to their faces. while they’re crying. 

but when you’re the one in pain, something in toji shifts. breaking down into the man you likely dream of him being before he can help it. not that he’d ever admit it to you or himself, but his corroded heart has a deep soft spot for you, his little wife. filled to the brim and overflowing with annoyingly pink, heart-shaped candies you probably put there yourself. 

still, it’s really surprising that when toji experiences you on your period for the first time, he is a manic cross between horrified and overprotective. 

after all, you don’t expect him to be caring. 

but toji wakes up to the sharp sound of a pained whimper somewhere in the apartment as soon as he hears it, heavenly restriction giving him sharp ears. usually, it’s the light bleeping of that annoying phone game you’re obsessed with lately or you kissing his cheek before heading to jujutsu high that wakes him up every morning so the sound is new to him. 

cracking one eye open just enough to roll his annoyed gaze to your side of the bed, he finds it empty. the sheets cold, but neatly made. figuring he should make sure a curse isn’t picking your bones in the kitchen, he drags himself slow out of bed. popping stiff joints as he yawns, bulging muscles stretched above his head. unhurried as ever as he reaches for his black tee he tossed before bed— to find it gone too. 

most likely on your body. 

“gotta be kidding me,” he mutters grumpily to himself, a rough hand shaking out the mess of his fringe as he peels open the bedroom door to pad into the hallway. 

only to collide hard with a smaller lump waddling out of the guest bathroom, wrapped head to toe in a plush throw blanket, his mountainous frame nearly bulldozing over you. 

“who the hell are you?” toji demands as he steadies you, pushing you away from his chest— not wanting to admit that you knocked a couple of years off his life by the way his heart speeds from being startled. the little lump in question barely glances up at him, but he still catches a flash of dark circles when the blanket shifts.

“oh, toji, i didnt know you were awake,” you greet him with a wet sniffle, void of your usual loving cadence and morning breath kiss for him. you simply give him an absent pat on his bare chest and then you’re off to the living room while toji’s slow brain tries to wrack up a reason for the cold shoulder, concluding with a sneer in his mind that she’s probably gettin’ ready to leave.

he will spit on his heart for making his chest burn at the thought.

his large body lumbers behind you all the way to the living room, a brow cocked in confusion as you crumble onto the couch like a broken thing, curling your knees up to your chest inside your blanket ball. your husband watches you close from the threshold to the living area and you wish he would go away— you don’t think you’re in the mood for the handful that is fushiguro toji when twisted pain wracks your lower belly, seizing your limbs as it spreads out to every nerve it can find. you can’t even move, it hurts so terribly. 

how fickle your hormones are during your period, to want the very man you spend most of your time missing to get out of your sight. 

“what’s wrong, doll?” he rasps out, voice still rough with sleep but he is concerned. of course, the moment he starts getting used to spending time around you and not disappearing for months, you decide to kick the bucket. “you dying on me?” 

he can’t see your face, but he can feel the irritation burning holes into his thick skull that rivals his terrifying glare.  “no, you idiot,” you snap and his expression clouds over with his own irritation at you for treating him like he’s stupid. it’s worth it, you think. “i’m just cursed, that’s all.” 

“what? you on that thing or somethin’?” toji stands there with an oblivious frown on his face that makes you want to wipe his existence from the earth, that stupid man. “i thought you don’t get—” 

“i don’t feel like explaining it to you, toji.” oh, he must be rubbing off on you because you sound exactly like him in that moment when you growl your words at him. voice gruff and all. obviously nothing is out here trying to eat you, you’re the foe. he should’ve stayed asleep. “my periods are heavier now because i stopped taking birth control, god.”

anger would’ve festered in his chest at your attitude with him if sickening warmth had not bloomed there instead at your answer. he knows you’re in pain and it’s because of that one discussion the two of you had last month— you wanted a family. god, you’re turning him soft. he hates it. 

toji shakes his head and moves into the kitchen, yanking open the dryer to snatch one of his shirts from inside the drum. hasted in the way he throws it over his head. 

“‘right then, i got somethin’ to take care of. you need anything, doll?” he throws over his shoulder while passing the suspicious, angry lump under the throw blanket on his way to the door. 

“for you to go away, doll.” you bite back in response and toji whistles, sporting a smirk; maybe he loves your feistiness, a bit. but your emotions are shifting like the tide— you were so rude. what if he doesn’t come back? you hurry to uncover your head, tears fattening up at the corner of your eyes as you watch his retreating back, throat clogged. “w-wait, i didn’t— toji! where are you going?!” 

“away like you asked, brat.” he sneers, and then he’s gone. 

toji doesn’t actually go far, though. that something to take care of is a quick trip to the pharmacy a few blocks away from your apartment complex. the sorcerer killer is so tall that the top of his head snags on the dangling bell at the entrance and he spends too much time untangling it from his unruly mop of hair, a scowl curled on his scarred lip so severe that it makes the old ladies scurry away, much to his delight. 

why is he at a damned pharmacy? it was all because of that stupid app named after a ticking clock or whatever. you were scrolling through your for you page while resting your head on his lap one night, making moon eyes at the blond pushover on the video preparing a care package for his girlfriend on her period. 

toji has a habit of wanting to please you when he isn’t being a grump and this is one of those times. 

the assassin shoves his hands into his pockets, feeling out of place. cutting sharp eyes to the young clerk at the counter staring at him like he’s a serial killer as he shuffles by, squinting up at the signs until he finds the aisle that reads: 13, feminine care, family planning

he didn’t die in 2006 when he fought that sorcerer brat, but he is about to now. 

coming here was a bad idea. toji is not like the man on that video; he kills, steals, and gambles. he can’t be domesticated, like a feral wild cat. but still, seeing you curled up on the sofa like that, his wife in pain— he at least wants to try. 

narrowing his eyes, toji surveys his surroundings and what he finds horrifies him. 

the aisle is more intimidating than any enemy, fully stocked with an assortment of products he’s never seen before in his life, and this is a man who’s been married twice before you. pads, tampons, washes. bright packaging boasting wings, daily liners, overnight diapers. sporty tampons advertising that you could un-sink the titanic with them, they’re so absorbent. even washes that promise you’ll smell like a spring blossom if you buy. 

toji scratches the temple of his skull and promptly reaches for the first thing that catches his confused male gaze. 

“those are known to give women nasty yeasties,” an amused voice points out to him, his head dragging around as his scowl deepens over being interrupted. 

“the fuck is a yeasty?” he deadpans, staring at the square package of pads in his big hand. he wants to leave so bad, but you looked so fragile and there was nothing he could do besides this so… “well?” 

one of the little old ladies who didn’t run away when he entered the pharmacy is standing next to him, barely reaching his elbow. big smile pulled over wrinkled lips. “a yeast infection, handsome lad.” 

huh. well, damn. 

toji pointedly ignores the woman, but he shoves the package back on the shelf anyway.

“do you need help?” she asks kindly and the assassin rolls his eyes. this is why he doesn’t do nice things. “something tells me you weren’t sent here or you’d know what to get.”

“can do it on my own, can’t i? mind your business,” he flips off, rude and not taking his eyes from the shelf. what in the hell did you prefer? flexfoam? infinity? there’s sizes, too. what size is your— “fine, which ones?”

the woman smiles wider, irritating old hag. “get those herbal ones there if she has cramps, boy. it’ll clear them up in minutes! if she uses tampons, organic is the best way to go.” she explains calmly while toji’s mind shifts to a visual of you hiding under the blanket back at home, cramps paralyzing you in a steady state of pain so his gaze zeroes in on the pink product in front of him reading honeypot. he drags a pack off the shelf and tucks it in the crook of his arm. “whatever, thanks.”

toji loses track of how much time he spends glooming around the pharmacy, picking up things you probably won’t even like. by the time he finishes, his arms are weighed down with items and there’s a fine sheen of perspiration plastered to his forehead. he wastes no time leaving once he’s coughed up enough pocket change to pay at the register, though. eager to get the hell out of there and back to you— ahem, to make sure you haven’t croaked over, of course.

outside your apartment, toji is struggling .. sitting on the stairs and arranging the items into a cheap cardboard box the old woman gave him. inside are some of your favorite snacks— greasy potato chips, chocolates, brownies, fruity candies, and a protein bar— when did he buy that? whatever, it goes in too— along with some other essentials the old woman insisted you needed for a painful period. scratching his cheek, the display is nothing like the package the guy gave his girlfriend on the video. the box is plain, he accidentally crushed the chips, the chocolates are melted from being clenched in his fist for too long, and then he just threw everything in there haphazardly.

of course, he would manage to fail something as simple as arranging a box of snacks for his sick wife, he thinks bitterly, but it’ll have to do. he’s shit at decorating and that’s all you’re getting.

you perk up when the front door opens, peeking your head from under the blanket— even that slight movement shoots a hot jolt of agony up the length of your back. your eyes are rimmed red and puffy from your frustrated, pained crying. “t-toji?”

“you’re still living, huh,” he quips, one side of his mouth quirking up in a smirk. keys tossed on the coffee table as he shifts the box in his arm, tossing himself on the couch next. “get up, princess.”

“where did you go? i thought—”

“come on, up i said. got somethin’ for you.”

“you do?” you blow out your breath in a soft groan. pins and needles pressing down on nerves as you move; you feel so chilly, your fever high enough to turn your skin to ice so you clutch the blanket around your body and sit upright, a little closer to toji whose body radiates warmth like summer year around. the idea of a gift did excite you a little— you loved the knickknacks he would bring home for you, but that anticipation is drastically dulled in comparison to the nasty cramps throbbing across your hips right now. “i’m up.”

“good girl,” toji deposits the box into your lap without fanfare, awkward as his big hand reaches over to pat the top of your head. “happy birthday, i guess.”

“it’s not my birthday,” you reply with a weak smile, a tradition. you lift the flap on the box preciously, a peek at the items inside making your heart instantly warm with love.

surprise colors your entire expression as you exclaim a soft squeak, but to toji’s horror when your gaze shoots up to his face, your eyes are glazing over with tears again, spilling hot and salty down your cheeks out of your control. not again, you’ve been crying all day.

“for real? why are you crying— just take it back if you don’t like—”

moving hurts so bad, but you swallow it down to close the distance between the two of you. wrapping your arms around your husband in a hug, smooshing your face to his chest. “iloveyousomuchthisissosweet!” eyes wide at your muffled words and sudden shift in mood, toji chuckles a little. then he slides warm hands around your waist that makes you sigh, carefully tugging you toward him to be cradled on his lap; your face buried in his chest now and he doesn’t even mind it when your nose goo gets on his last clean shirt. he even makes sure you’re still wrapped up in your blanket, his little burrito.

“yeah, doll. i know.” the woman at the pharmacy gave him good advice, he thinks. toji moves an arm to reach into your care package, retrieving a bunny-shaped instant heat pack. squeezes the life out of the thing in his big fist until it warms to a scald against his skin.

“c’mere, princess. lady said this’d help with it all or somethin’.” toji grunts, moving the edges of your blanket apart just for a second, tucking the heat packet in between the band of your shorts and your (his) shirt so it won’t burn your skin.

you’re a grown woman, a jujutsu sorcerer at that— you don’t need anyone to care for you like this. you know it, toji knows it. it’s why he’s never worried about you when he leaves. but he still digs his hand back into that box, the protectiveness burning in his chest easing some now that your whimpers are starting to cease, the heat pack working its magic.

toji yanks out one of the chocolate bars he bought for you. splitting the wrapping open so he can break off a piece to nudge to your lips gently. “hurry up, this shit’s gettin’ on my fingers.”

you’re melting under the attention from your usually uncaring husband, eagerly accepting the square of chocolate. the burst of flavor is the perfect balance of bittersweet warming your tastebuds, momentarily distracting you from your bleeding uterus and the unforgiving cramps that travel with it.

his behavior would give you whiplash if you weren’t so in love at this moment, content to let toji spoil you rotten with head pats, cuddles and hand-fed chocolates— a special grade weapon against your period because your mood is slowly lifting.

you don’t even notice when you lick the chocolate from toji’s fingertips, that one little piece not enough to sate you.

“don’t gotta bite my fingers off, doll. there’s more.”

“then hurry up, you slow old geezer.”

“spoiled wench, y’ gonna pay for this attitude of yours in four more days.”

“if you keep feeding me chocolate, i’ll let you charge me for it in one.”

HIS FAVORITE PLACE TO KISS YOU

⇢  oikawa toru, bokuto kotaro, kuroo tetsuro, daichi sawamura, ushijima wakatoshi, kita shinsuke

warning ⚠️: suggestive

ʚɞ OIKAWA Toru | tries his best but fails to avert his eyes from your collarbones. It's so enticing, the way it peeks out from your white v-neck. Believe him, he trying to get a grip, but he is just a man. "toru, are you still listening to me?" "mmhm," he nods absentmindedly before meeting your eyes, "actually, I lied. princess, do you mind coming here?" you stand up, confused, and he uses this chance to pull you down to his lap. smirks at the way you let out your little "oh!" of surprise when you feel his lips on your collarbones. he'll try his best to not leave marks, but no promises. after all, you don't mind it, right? right.

ʚɞ BOKUTO Kotaro | loves kissing you, whenever, wherever. "ko, where's your favorite place to kiss me?" "let me show you." large calloused hands moving up to the back of your neck, his lips explored yours, the two of you dancing to the tune of a melody call "love". you pull back, slightly out of breath but he continues to trail down to your neck, collar bone, arms and hands. "mwah!" he plants one big kiss on the inside of your wrist. "you never answered my question! where's your favorite place to kiss me?" he lets out the biggest smile, "everywhere."

ʚɞ KUROO Tetsuro | wraps his arms around your waist as you let out a little warning, "careful, I got a knife," referring to the sharp blade in your hand as you prepare dinner. "looks like this is going to be a test of your coordination," he chuckles as he pushes your hair to the side, exposing his favorite part to kiss you, your neck. you couldn't stop the light gasp from escaping when you feel the wetness of his inner lips slowly dragging across your exposed skin. "tetsu..." you whisper. he sucks just a teeny bit harder before pulling back, smiling down at his masterpiece. "want any help in the kitchen tonight?"

ʚɞ DAICHI Sawamura | took his sweet time in exploring where you like to be kissed. ever since he discovered the involuntary goosebumps running down your arms every time he kisses your ears, that's become his favorite place to kiss you. ears are often neglected, but never yours. not when he cages you in between his arms, lips gently sucking on your ear lobe and tongue running behind them. bonus points for the quiet, deep hums he lets out as he kisses you.

ʚɞ USHIJIMA Wakatoshi | since a child, he's been big in almost every aspect. big shoulders, big hands, big feet and a big presence. which is why his favorite place to kiss you is your hands. the same hands that seem so tiny being dwarfed by his. the same ones he couldn't resist but bring up to his lips, planting sweet, gentle kisses on them, every kiss was a secret message of love that he could never be convey verbally.

ʚɞ KITA Shinsuke | lives for the little whimpers you let out the moment he parts your thighs, giving the inner part some love. "your friends are right outside." he ignores you. lips continuing to plant tiny kisses up and down, his large hands keeping your legs open. gazes up at you just as he bites down lightly, a love bite blossoming slowly but surely. helps you up before leading you out the room, "I warned you not to wear this skirt today"

Guiding Rails 4

Despite your initial immediate panic, you decide to dodge the question in the moment.

"Oh, well you look familiar." You say, not mentioning your name. Dream gives you a look and huffs a little.

"Alright, conductor. I think you have a job to do, right?" Dream looks distrustful of you. Despite this, you nod and turn away from Dream.

You think about how strange this is. You might not have talked all that much, if at all, but Dream should still definitely know who you are.

You make your way back to the front of the train and by the time you get there, the little shadow creatures have begun to close the doors to the station you're in. You assume that you should try and actually drive the train.

One of the shadows, covered in vines of wisteria, followed you to the conductor's car and began to point to various dials and switches. It made an unintelligible whispering noise as it did so. You understood none of it, but you could understand basic body language, so you followed your given instructions and began to interact with the dashboard.

Interestingly enough, once you began the task, it started to feel like second nature and your hands felt like they moved on their own. In no time at all, the train began moving forward and the interior of the train was plunged into darkness.

Wisteria (you decided to just call the creatures by their flower) began lighting the lamps in the car and another creature wrapped in buttercups came into the car and handed you a handheld lantern. You took it, not exactly sure what you'd need it for, until Wisteria stepped between you and the train controls and waved you towards the opposite direction.

It looks like they're telling you to leave the car while they drive the train. You hesitate. Aren't you the conductor? Shouldn't you drive the train? Then again, maybe they're saying that you have something to do. Buttercup had already begun gently pushing you forward out of the car. You're a bit frustrated with the lack of context, so you decide to think about this first.

Iskahn, leader of the Pugilist Guild, considers himself to be uncuttable by any object imaginable. During the pursuit the Pugilists catch up with the decoy force, and Sheyta stays back to hold them off. She goes up against Iskahn and a hard battle ensues with Sheyta wounding Iskahn with her paper thin sword. With a drawn out stalemate, both fighters gain a mutual respect for each other and she withdraws back to the decoy force. At the end of the first day's haul, the decoy force setup camp to rest. Unknown to them, Vassago has been lurking and secretly takes out a few men in the camp.

Giorno then uses Baby Face Jr.'s components to create a poisonous snake which tracks down and kills Melone. Bucciarati's gang then finds instructions to use Moody Blues to receive the boss's final orders. Moody Blues transforms into Pericolo who, having been speaking to no one, had planned this method to ensure the orders couldn't be intercepted. Pericolo said to recover a data disc at Venice Station which contains further instructions, then killed himself to keep the information secret. Giorno and Mista drive towards Venice while the others remain in Coco Jumbo; however, Ghiaccio, another Hitman Team member, catches up with their car and attacks them using the freezing ability of his Stand White Album. They manage to shake him off by combining their Stands' abilities, but Ghiaccio catches up again and uses his Stand as both armor and ice skates. In a desperate move to defeat Ghiaccio, Giorno drives their car into a canal.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Natagumo Mountain Arc EP#20 - Pretend Family: Tanjiro collapses from his wounds and crawls towards Nezuko, who has fallen and isn't moving. He smells blood behind him and realizes he normally smells ash when demons were killed by his sword. Rui stands and puts his head back on. He tells Tanjiro he cut his neck with one of his own threads when he realized he would be decapitated by the nichirin sword, which would have killed him. Enraged, he encircles Tanjiro with threads to mince him, only for Giyū to arrive and save him. Giyū congratulates Tanjiro on holding out until he arrived. Rui throws a sheet of threads at Giyū, who uses Water Breathing's eleventh form (there are only ten officially) to shred them when they reach him. Giyū then beheads him. As the Daughter runs, she remembers when she was being chased by Demon Hunters and saved by Rui, promising to join his family. Rui fed her some of his blood, giving her her current appearance. There were many siblings Rui had shared his blood with and he insisted they pretend to be a family. If they did something Rui didn't like he'd punish them, sometimes by wounding them, other times stringing them up and letting the sunlight kill them. Thus the numbers decreased to five. The Daughter comes across Murata and ensnares him in a cocoon filled with acid that will liquefy him, only to be knocked to the ground by Shinobu. Shinobu asks her how many people she's killed, saying (smiling all the while) that once she tortures her appropriately for all the people she's killed (gouge out her eyes, rip out her organs, ect.), they can be friends and her sins will be forgiven. The Daughter refuses so Shinobu uses her Insect Breathing to approach and cut her neck with her sword. Shinobu's sword is sharp only at the tip as she lacks the strength to behead demons. However, Daughter dies seconds later from the wisteria-based poison Shinobu invented and coated her sword with. Shinobu then frees Murata. Tanjiro makes it to Nezuko and drapes himself over her body protectively. As Rui dies, he thinks he made the pretend family because he had no memories of when he was human, and he thought if he could feel a familial bond, his memories would come back. He looks upon Tanjiro and Nezuko, wishing he had what they had.

Just as it seems his dish has failed to impress the judges, Soma brings out his dish's true edge.

Black Clover: Elf Tribe Reincarnation Arc EP#109 - Spatial Mage Brothers: The elf Baval, possessing Golden Dawn member David Swallow, threatens Kirsch, Mimosa and En, pointing out the elves power and the fact that Langris, possessed by the most twisted elf, Ratri, has made it to the Clover King.

Yami throws Finrals parents through a portal while Finral promises Finnes he will survive. Jack cuts through the castle wall, sending the King falling to safety. Jack figures out a way to cancel Ratri's automatic defence. Jack and Yami almost knock Ratri unconscious but he goes on a rampage instead. Finral recalls he and Langris have never actually fought each other as Finral always ran away, and now Ratri is distracted. Finral succeeds in teleporting him directly in front of him and Finral knocks him out with a simple punch to the face. Inside Langris' mind he and Finral reconcile as they both pass out. Patry arrives at the floating dungeon and meets the elves Droit (right in french) and Eclat possessing Gauche (left in french) and his sister Marie. Rhya reveals that due to an unknown reason Licht's memories have not fully returned and he has once more fallen asleep. Patry reveals the final stage of his plan, to place a final magic stone in a tablet deep within the castle, wiping out all humans and making the elves reincarnations permanent, a stone that is on Yuno's necklace.

ahhhhhh !! what kind of dates would yuuji, gojo, nanami, and megumi take you on :???

SWEET DATES ʚ JJK BOYS + HEADCANONS

ଘ feat ʚ OKKOTSU, ITADORI, FUSHIGURO, GOJO, NANAMI ɞ

ଘ from 呪術廻戦 / jujutsu kaisen

ଘ beware ʚ no warnings, sfw, tooth rotting fluff, links take you to songs i recommend you listen to while reading (youtube), not thoroughly proofread (let me know if i missed anything), all characters are of age.

ଘ notes my lovely dani <3333 i added yuuta like you asked uwu i hope you enjoy these headcanons. i'm so soft after writing this. if these boys don't show up at my door in the next 24 hours and take me on one of these dates, i'm going to lose my mind. thank you for requesting!!!! interactions are loved (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و

now playing: take me where your heart is by Q

okkotsu yuuta’s a hopeless romantic, but you don’t discover this until later in your relationship when he’s more comfortable with taking the initiative and sharing his ideas with you. 

at first, he’s so casual— content with you being the one to plan out the dates while he provides the train and bus fees so you can drag him all over the bustling cities as you please.

until he finds out you want him to be more assertive. 

after that, he’ll wrap his arms around you and mumbles against your ear his plans for you, no longer the other way around. 

“clear your schedule for me today? we’re going somewhere, my love.” 

he makes your heart flutter with that kind of talk!!!

but to be honest, yuuta is kind of nervous. 

the dates you prepare are so thoughtful ‘n unique. stealing him away from duties for firework shows, free sample hopping at the local shopping centers and even a pottery class where you laughed at yuuta because he accidentally clogged wet clay up his nostril.

anyway, yuuta REALLY should give himself more credit. 

he’s a little sheepish at first, a little flushed when the two of you check in at a do it yourself couple’s spa. “we can go somewhere else, if you like?” 

“okkotsu,” you deadpan. “you have to be kidding. we’re at a spa and i get to crack your back instead of someone else. we’re doing this!!!!” 

“that’s a relief,” he gives you a beautiful smile.

the date turns out to be so cute. 

you and yuuta wear matching robes with cute little animals printed on them before you’re lead to a room stocked with a mini fridge and shelves with goodies meant to be used to take care of each other. 

yuuta’s particularly interested in the eye masks for bruises under the eyes, but you steer him away from those because you love his dark circles just as much as you love him. no blemish on his face isn’t beautiful. 

still, it feels good to be the one to take care of your lovely boy— you worry about him not getting enough sleep and nutrition. just as yuuta worries about you overworking yourself and staying up too late at night. 

it’s not a surprise the two of you end up arguing about who gets to take care of the other first before the instructor interrupts and reminds you it’s a team effort. 

so you both end up sitting face to face, gently patting serums into blushing cheeks and whining about how cold the jelly sheet masks are when you slap it over unprepared faces. falling a little bit further in love with each other as you gently massage the tension out of each other’s shoulders, little quarrel soon forgotten.

now playing: shake it by metro station

“do you maybe? i dunno— wanna go on a date with me?” is how yuuji asks you out, rubbing the nape of his neck, eyes casted to the floor— immediately regretting blurting out that question. not because he doesn’t want to date you, but because—

well, this guy is clueless?? sure, he may have come a long way from hanging up posters of half-naked actresses in his room, but yuuji’s still not good at dating and he’s even worse with women. bless him. 

still, he tries his best. 

he stays up all night googling what women like to do on dates. scoffing at the cosmo magazine polls that promise him 75% of women prefer extravagant dates that begin in expensive dinners and end in swarovski gifts. as if he’ll do something like that. he’s broke and plus, dates like that sound boring. 

yuuji’s a hyperactive puppy who never runs out of energy so when the idea of adrenaline-filled thrill rides, kakigori, sweet cotton candy and greasy popcorn pops into his mind, he texts the trip advisor page to you at 3am in the morning, hours before your date with him. 

“an amusement park, yuuji?” honestly, for a first date it’s not the best idea. a loud park filled with boisterous teenagers and crying babies didn’t create the most romantic setting for a blossoming relationship, but for you and yuuji it’s perfect. you can’t deny your excitement even if it is a little childish. 

except, the itadori bad luck is not a hoax. yuuji ends up picking the worst day for your date—free corn dog day so of course the park is ridiculously busy with families and couples alike. 

yuuji looks like someone kicked him in the face, really. guiltier than a man on trial. “we should just go.” “please, yuuji. you’re going to want one of those free corn dogs. we’ll make it work.” 

no moms with baby prams and sticky toddlers will stop you from enjoying your time with him. you’d been waiting for him to ask you out for too long. 

you lace your fingers with yuuji’s, tugging him into the crowd. scoping out rides with the least wait times and of course, the free corn dog stall. 

this date is more fun than it looks, promise!!!!

yuuji may have made himself sick eating free corn dogs though. childlike, the two of you change your looks to return to the line. you end up wearing yuuji’s hat while yuuji has your bright pink sunglasses on. luckily, he was handsome enough to charm the concession employees into giving the two of you seconds, thirds, and even a fourth.

you and yuuji end up riding all of the random, unpopular rides throughout the park too. the creaky tilt-a-whirl, the broken carousel with animals that don’t move, and the horror love boat with the terrifying animatronics where you feed each other rainbow cotton candy and share a sweet cherry slush to distract yourselves from the scene of the animatronic woman eating her husband’s heart in a corner. 

“you’re still shaking. are you scared? do you want me to cover your eyes?” “just kiss me, idiot.” 

now playing: outside by weston estate

megumi isn't the kind of guy to go all out for dates.

he doesn't see the point in spending a lot of money?? especially going to loud places with too many people, when all he wants to do is spend time being next to you while he's able— the location literally doesn't matter.

of course, he'll go out if you want. it's just not really his style.

it annoys you a little at first— you think he's hiding your relationship, but you're quick to learn that dating with megumi at home is better than anything.

he doesn't ask you out or anything; it makes him nervous even though you're his girlfriend so he just shows up at your door— surprise!!!! here's your boyfriend at the door with a bag of groceries and a rented movie.

"who still rents movies, fushiguro?"

“you be quiet.”

when you're alone though, megumi's true personality unfurls and shines through.

he wears your pink cooking apron and doesn't protest when you push his hair back with a pretty headband, he's so handsome. he'll cook you a delicious meal before watching a movie with you warming his side and if you don't fall asleep during, he'll draw the two of you a medicinal bath to soothe your tired limbs and achy joints.

"hey," megumi's quiet rasp calls on you from the kitchen. the scent of megumi's favorite being prepared— shogoyaki with bean sprouts and rice— wafts through the open kitchen hatch, making your mouth water. "did you set the table like i asked or are you too busy ogling me?"

"you wouldn't believe me if i said no, how can i not ogle you?"

still, you hurriedly set the table so you can join him in the kitchen. not to help him, no— to hug your arms to his waist while he carefully tosses pork over in a pan, grumbling that he can't move with you clinging to him like that.

yet he never asks you to move. 

getting glimpses of a more comfortable, open megumi is a treat. 

he would never do some of the things in public that he does when at home with you — like sitting right next to you at the table instead of across. 

or feeding you bites of food from his own plate because you love those pieces and he doesn’t, yet he adds them to his plate anyway.

there’s so many more things, too. a special edition megumi only for you.

it’s so endearing as he sips some of your drink when you offer it to him. or when he thumbs a finger across your lip, cleaning a drop of soy from your mouth. using any excuse to touch and be near you. 

now playing: scenic drive by khalid

when you first began dating him, satoru took you everywhere.

he would rent out entire restaurants for fancy dinners with you or fly you all the way to venice for a romantic ride through the city on a gondola. your dates with him meant dressing in pretty silks and satins with high heels so expensive they could end world hunger, all bought by satoru himself.

back then, it was obvious. he was only trying to occupy you. keeping you busy and excited in your relationship with him, a constant need to impress you as his feelings grew stronger. an irrational fear in him that you would eventually get tired of his exhausting personality and busy schedule.

yeah, he’s an idiot. but he’s your idiot.

at one point, you have to tell him: "my feet can't take another night in heels, satoru," letting him down gently so he'll know that while you don't like the location, you love spending time with him.

the clubbing, the dinners, the trips to different countries— you want him to stop posing and let his guard down. you want satoru, raw and unfiltered.

"eh? you couldn't have said that before i flew you to paris?" he complains, pulling his blindfold down to replace it with a pair of dark shades. "whatever, i know where to take you next."

"does it involve sitting in first class for ten hours? if yes, we're breaking up."

"don't be such a crybaby, but no. it does involve sitting next to me, though."

you are one hundred percent sure that satoru, who takes the train to work and tortures ijichi into driving him everywhere does not have a driver's license, but hours later when you meet him downstairs outside of your apartment, he's leaning coolly against a sleek red sports car; vintage body, cream interior.

feeling bad about having to tell him to cool it down with the extravagant dates, you don’t question his driving skills as you hop into the passenger seat. if you die, you die!!!!

but you should have known better, there is nothing gojo satoru cannot learn. his driving is smooth and is threatening to lull you to sleep. he truly is good at everything.

he’s especially good at making you swoon.

satoru drives you out of the city with the top down, sleeves rolled up; he looks so carefree, years younger with his hair whipping in the wind and no worries on his expression. one hand on the steering wheel while the other rests in your lap, his fingers intertwined with yours while you stroke your thumb lovingly over the top of his hand. choosing the perfect moment to drive beachside as the sun drops, coloring the sky to a lavender purple.

it’s relaxing date and exactly what you wanted. satoru can rest his overactive mouth because neither of you feel the need to break the silence and speak— loving one another enough to share the space and be near each other.

you share a bag of chips and a sugary melon soda in silence too, though every now and then satoru will sigh and crunch irritatingly loud just to make you laugh.

( it’s endearing to see crumbs littering satoru’s expensive jeans. so human. )

but then your favorite song jumps on the shuffle and you’re singing into the darkening sky, lyrics off-key while satoru steals glances between watching the road, his expression as open as his heart in that moment.

“so, how is this for a date?” he lolls his head towards your seat, his eyes reflecting the lavender orange cream sky in them. “wishing you were on a private jet?”

“it’s not paris,” you nod, agreeing. “but it’s worth it.”

now playing: waves by mr.probz

there is one thing about nanami kento and that is he will never waste a day off, never miss an opportunity to spend quality time with you. 

kento is an organized man so it’s no surprise that this man has an entire day planned out for the two of you. 

he is the poster model for true romance, waking you up with a kiss and a fresh bouquet of spring flowers. “i have an errand to run today, darling girl,” he murmurs in your ear. “come with me?” 

an errand to run is kento’s unique way of asking you out on a date— you can’t help but smile and feel excited, so you hurry to do your morning routine and get dressed while kento patiently waits outside. 

any hints you try to draw out of kento about where you’re going today falls flat, he even threatens to blindfold you if you peek again. you trust him so you dutifully keep your eyes sealed the entire car ride and to this secret destination

you’re super confused when your feet land on wooden planks. a boardwalk? kento is a perfect guide though and you can’t find it in yourself to complain when his hands stay on your waist the entire journey.

“lift your feet up for me or you’ll fall, darling.” “that’s it.” but in the end he ends up lifting you onto a higher surface. do i hear waves?

“you could have uncovered your eyes five minutes ago,” kento quips dryly and you frown before dropping your hands. you squint against the bright, warm sunlight and the clear blue sky.

“kento, this was your errand?” you reply breathlessly, mouth gaped in surprise as you stare at the beautiful vessel around you. a crisp white sailboat with a light varnished deck.

“i thought it would do us a favor to get out of the house. shall we?”

at the helm of the boat is the prettiest picnic you’ve ever seen. pillowy cushions seated at a small table decorated with artful cheeses, meats, and fruits while a bottle of sparkling champagne sleeps on ice in a bucket.

nanami helps you sit down before he sits next to you, getting to work on finding a corkscrew to pop the champagne while you relax, realizing with wide eyes that you didn’t pay attention to nanami’s outfit of the day.

picture this: nanami kento, hair pushed back, sunshades, board shorts, boat shoes.

a sight you never knew you needed to lay your eyes upon before that moment.

the two of you are the picture of romance, straight out of a lifestyle magazine. the sailboat rocking gently over the waves as you chat comfortably and it takes some coaxing the ex-salaryman into agreeing, but eventually you get him to rest his head in your lap while you lower a branch of grapes to his lips because we’re on a boat, we have to recreate this!

at first he’s just indulging you, but the grapes are as sweet as your love and the way you brush his hair back away from his face is comforting. as grumpy as he is, it feels good to be cared for. to be loved. he finds himself lulling off, eyes closed to listen to your quiet chewing as you snack and the water rolling against the starboard side.

until you startle him awake, “wait, where did you get the boat?”

the blond has to laugh, brow flickering in irritation as he thinks about the owner of said vessel, but no thought is unpleasant enough to ruin a perfect day with you. “i called in a favor from a frustrating colleague.”

this kind of date… reminds you to enjoy the time you have together. with seaspray in your hair and on your cheeks, you and nanami at peace, nothing else matters.

Repost from @your_local_epidemiologist • In North Texas, it’s currently 3F (-16C) with a wind chill of -15F (-26C). My little family is one of 1.5 million that haven’t had power in 28 hours. So, safe to say, I won’t be posting about epidemiology for a few days until we defrost. There are quite a few “warming centers” opening up across Texas if you’re in dire need. Call 2-1-1 for info. Here are some North Texas ones...

୧┈┈• ༶ before we allow you to board the shinkansen, there are a few station regulations we must go over to ensure safe and positive travels for every boarding passenger!

GENERAL REGULATIONS

this network is an 18+ only zone. please be mindful of that when looking to apply. if we have reasons to believe that you have entered the premises of our network under a false age, we will deny/remove you. this is for the safety of our entire environment. keep in mind, this is not solely a nsfw network, but regardless of that, we have the right to age restrict.

while being associated with shibuya station, your actions reflect back on the network itself, and the entirety of our staff and passengers. due to this, we stress that this community remains kind and respectful. no bigotry, or harassment of any kind will be tolerated under any circumstances.

shibuya station’s owners reserve the right to reject any applicant that we feel does not comply with the network’s needs/goals. we ask that you respect this.

plagiarism of any kind is unacceptable and will result in an immediate termination of your membership with our station.

our network is open to content ANIME creators ONLY. whether you're a writer, an artist, a cosplayer, or etc. . . you were welcome within our premises. the only stipulation to this is that you must actively create fandom content.

PERMISSIONS TO BOARD

once you are accepted, you’ll receive your ticket to board the shinkansen from one of our administrators. you will find this ticket amongst your direct messages, along with any extra information you may need regarding your acceptance into the network.

along with your ticket will be an exclusive link to the network’s discord. while joining the discord is optional, it is greatly encouraged. it is the easiest way to not only reach out to our staff if need be, but also help to boost your own content and meet others along your long and eventful journey! . . . we had worked hard to make a thriving environment for all passengers, with fun games, events, and even a secret code word like wisteria~

we also ask that you add #shibuya-station anywhere on your blog to show that you are affiliated with our network, as well as reblog your welcome ticket. the sooner, the better, however if we do not see any activity after 24 hours an admin will reach out.

although we are aware of how eventful life can be, and while we completely understand this, in order to maintain a spot within our station, we humbly ask that you remain active on tumblr as well as contribute content in our tag at least once every four months… extensions can be given if needed.

when posting, please be sure to use the tag "http://[station;wisteria]" to help us better track what you wish to be featured on the network.

with that said, you are not under any means obligated to use the networks tag for every piece of content! any specific content you want can be tagged and queued by us whenever you would like.

if you are not a member, please refrain from using the network tag to push your own content. admins know who are affiliates and who are not.

label your content appropriately if you want them featured. this includes character names and/or pairings, nsfw + dc warnings on such content, and, again, we stress that you use the appropriate network tags if you wish for your content to be shared. if you use our station tag and do not use the appropriate tags, a staff member will be in touch.

for our fic writers: if the fic you want to share is more than 500 words, we ask that you attach a read more. this is not only helpful to us but to you as well! otherwise, again, it will not be queued up.

if you have any changes that could affect the network - whether it be a url/alias change, switching from sfw to nsfw, or something bigger, like moving entire blogs or deactivating altogether - we ask that you please reach out to one of the owners and let us know so we can make changes in order to accommodate you!

last but not least, this network will run a queuing system - this means that it could take some time before you see the network reblog your content. do not stress! it will be shared ♡ it just might be a little bit depending on what’s currently queued up. queueing is set to post ten times a day on a 24 hour bases.

DISCORD REGULATIONS

most rules will follow a three offense count. the first offense will put you on watch with our moderators and the owners will be notified. second offense will result in a probationary period where one of the admin will speak to you privately concerning the offense. if you continue on to a third offense, this will result in a ban from the overall network. we understand that mistakes happen. as long as you are honest and willing to comply, we are more than happy to allow you to continue your journey with us.

we have a zero tolerance policy on any sort of hateful speech. if you do not obide by our network rules, it results in a ban from our server and network. additionally, if you do not support nsfw/dc content, this is not the network for you. any harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.

this is a space that welcomes all genres of fandom. this means that we also do not tolerate slander of any fandoms or characters. we ask this for the comfortability of others who may not enjoy hearing their faves getting hated on. examples: gojo slander, getou slander, dead daichi, ratsumu/pisshead tsumu, flattykawa, toxic hc of any character’s personal views, etc.

please follow channel guides and regulations for each one. otherwise, it will result in a moderator directing your conversation elsewhere . . . for the channels that are not in the channel guide, you will find descriptions of them in the designated area. be sure to read them.

be respectful to all members, including my station moderators, mini mods, and co owners. we are all one big community, let’s keep it peachy.

Covid-19 crisis: Noida residents come forward to support admin in relief work - noida

Covid-19 crisis: Noida residents come forward to support admin in relief work - noida

As many daily wage earners are facing troubles in the wake of lockdown announced to stave off Covid-19 crisis, several residential societies in the city have come forward with efforts to help those in need, including migrant labourers and construction workers.

The Apartment Owners Association (AOA) of Prateek Wisteria in Sector 77 has started collecting funds from residents to make food packets containing essential groceries to be distributed among the needy, with the help of Gautam Budh Nagar administration.

The residents of the high-rise aims to distribute 500 food packets to be distributed among labour settlements primarily in sectors such as 101 and 120.

“Each food packet contains wheat flour, rice, pulses, mustard oil, spices, sugar, soaps and toothpaste, which should last for at least 15 days for a family. We are procuring them from different vendors and hope to start packaging from Monday after which we will distribute them with the help of the police and administration,” said Amit Gupta, president of Prateek Wisteria AOA.

Each packet costs Rs 610 and so far the society has collected funds for 225 such packets.

“If a needy person comes to us directly, we will give it to him/her. Also, such people will go to the administration to collect the packets. The idea came to us after the police made an organizing officer for relief work. None of the items in the food packets are perishable and will help the people for long,” said Gupta.

Several high-rises and colonies are constantly helping their staff and domestic helps in every manner possible.

Rajiva Singh, president, AOA, Stellar Kings Court in Sector 50, said, “In addition to helping the housekeeping and security staff, we have created a separate Covid-19 fund which so far has received contributions of Rs 1.5 lakh from several residents. We will use the fund to help domestic helps and daily wage earners like rickshaw pullers. We are working out on how to reach out to maximum number of people and help the administration.”

On Friday, the district magistrate had appealed to the citizens to contribute directly to the DM relief fund. Along with individual residents, organizations and manufacturing firms are also coming forward to help the administration. Noida-based plastic manufacturing firm, Uflex, donated Rs 25 lakh on Saturday to fight against the virus outbreak.

The Gautam Budh Nagar police have appointed the deputy commissioner of police (women safety) as the organizing officer for all relief works. “We are helping people proactively. We have distributed 11,000 food packets in the last three days. Eleven of our PRVs are stocked with ration only and they are roaming around the city. Every police post and station have been stocked with essential food items and people in need are going there directly to get help,” said Vrinda Shukla, the organizing officer.

The police are not taking monetary contributions, but are accepting material help, including cooked food packets, to be distributed among the needy.
